Guardian
The protocol is controlled by the Root contract, which has access on all other contracts. The Root contract enforces a 48-hour delay for any upgrades and configuration changes.
Each deployment has a Guardian role, who is authorized on the Root contract. The Guardian can pause in emergencies, schedule upgrades, and set up adapters to new networks.
Every transaction is verified by third-party signers from Cantina.
